Small town. Smaller school. But doing BIG things! I’m hyping up our students! Mrs. @lovatoBSDVAPA! Our kids did that!! @BurtonBulldogs is on a new level! Let’s continue to create these amazing opportunities for our students!

Setting up a couple stations can be time consuming but @tarahteaches students are exploring magnetic forces rotating through 8 stations. #ThinkLikeAScientist #ditchbook @BurtonBulldogs @BurtonSchools

You never what kind of fun will happen in our science classrooms. Today was exploring magnetic forces in @tarahteaches and building/testing motorized vehicles in @MrLongsScience. #HandsOnExperiences @BurtonSchools @BurtonBulldogs

[Mrs. Britton @BrittonClass]

After many change ideas, students in @tarahteaches are testing their "pods" with a raw egg to see if the egg survives the drop. #LearningIsFun #ImprovementScience @BurtonSchools @BurtonBulldogs

Expanding Your Horizons at #BurtonMiddleSchool this year! These ladies have done an engineering challenge, learned about reptiles and the day is just getting started!! #womeninstem #EYH2021 #BMSBulldogs @vanegonzburton @priscilavlopezp

[Mrs. Britton @BrittonClass]

Students testing their paper airplane designs... a practical application of improvement science. TY @tarahteaches for providing relevance for your young scientists. #learningisfun @BurtonSchools @BurtonBulldogs

[Mrs. Britton @BrittonClass]

Exploring different ways to create circuits that turn on the light bulb in @tarahteaches classroom! Students couldn't wait to show their designs! #electricity @BurtonSchools @BurtonBulldogs

We began with an exhibit and ended with a mock trial. Three weeks of visualizing and bringing literacy, history, and reading to life. We did it! 📚 #ChasingLincolnskiller #BSDlitCamp @MsCabralSPED @BlainSmothermon @frescas_mr @Mr_Gonzo_

One final mystery solved!! 🔍#Karrendidit and with that, #bsdenrichmentcamp is done for the summer! It has been a blast getting to know so many new faces and being able to make some awesome memories with these leaders! 🍎✔️ #forensicscience #stemeducation

[Tarah Mendez @tarahteaches]

RED ALERT 🚨 LAUGHTER HAPPENING!!! Students tested their team work by competing in the “Pen Challenge” each group was tasked with drawing or writing various words without touching the pen directly! I was very impressed by the #communication happening 🖊👏🏻‼️ #bsdenrichmentcamp

[Tarah Mendez @tarahteaches]

Today at #bsdenrichmentcamp we studied microorganisms commonly found in our very own Lake Success! 🌿🦐 #scienceiscool #stemeducation #summerschool

[Tarah Mendez @tarahteaches]

Hands-on, experience based learning! #bsdenrichmentcamp #STEMeducation

[Tarah Mendez @tarahteaches]

Team work and collaboration in action!! I was thoroughly impressed by the creativity and problem solving skills I saw today! #civilengineering #bsdenrichmentcamp #STEMeducation
